Peugeot 309td fuel primer.

Post by **Peter.N.** » 25 Jun 2008, 10:00

A friend of mine has a 309td with a leaking fuel primer which I think is integral with the filter housing. Is it possible to repair them? If not where can I get a replacement?

Thanks.

hi Peter would have thought a breaker on ebay may be one answer..

older 205 part may fit ?

your local LSUK usualy sell a universal filter head/primer, the universal bit is it has two in poerts and two outs, and blancking plugs for the two you dont use, last time i bought one it was around the 40 squide mark

Re-building to a later style filter-only housing and a universal type in-line (maritime) primer bulb is an easy & cheap option.

the problem you will get with a filter head/primer of this type leaking is it will let air into the syatem, as usualy when they leak its because the diaghpram is perished, so i think the best fix is replace the head

Thanks for all you suggestions, yes it is letting air in so something needs doing. I have one here from a Ford 1800 diesel which I might try. Didn't know about the universal ones though, who stocks them, we dont have a local anything here, probably Exeter about 30 miles away.

The Ford one should work but it probably flows in the wrong direction so you might have to be creative with the mounting.

A used one will get you going but should be regarded as temporary. I expect most motor factors could get you one, or possibly Euro/GSF could send one.

Hi Richard

I did try the GSF online catalogue but couldn't find one. I will give them a ring. Thanks.

LSUK is lucas services uk, you know one from a BX or any other cit/pug of that age group will do

Job done. Thanks for all your input. I had the car here this morning after going and rescuing it as it stopped altogether. I found that the Sierra 1.8 filter assembly is an almost exact replacement, the holes and pipes are in the right place and the flow direction is correct.

I've never been that lucky, every time I need one in an emergency the only available spare flows the wrong way and I have a nightmare making it fit.
